Meaning of Leilan
Leilan is a two-syllable masculine name likely derived from the Old English surname Leland—meaning “fallow land”—or conceived as a modern blend of Lee and Alan. Pronounced LAY-lan (/ˈleɪlən/), it unites a quiet nod to pastoral heritage with a crisp, contemporary cadence. In recent American records, Leilan has maintained a steady presence, ranking between the 800s and 900s since the mid-2000s and charting at 919th in 2023. This consistent but modest usage underscores its appeal as a name that feels both recognizable and refreshingly uncommon. Its balanced phonetic structure and gentle associations with open landscapes offer parents a deliberate yet approachable choice—one unlikely to overwhelm classroom attendance sheets and thus retaining its distinctive charm.
